It looks like someone had a go at refinishing the cabinet, it also looks like they took steel wool to the escutcheons. It's definitely a pre 1937 model, not because of the "Dictator" name, but because of the model number. Grimes Phonola/Electrohome went with a model numbering system somewhat similar to Philco or Sparton. I'm not sure when the Hudson's Bay Company discontinued the "Dictator" name but it was after the war, after a time they started calling them "Baycrest".
